Why Rose Otto?

Rose oil has left an indelible mark in the history of essential oils. This fragrant, aromatic oil has been used in perfumery, cosmetics and medicine for many centuries.
Rose Otto is one of the most expensive aromatic essential oils, extracted through careful steam distillation, from the petals of the Rosa damascena species (Bulgarian or Damask rose). Genuine distilled Rose Otto oil is absolutely pure and extremely valuable, requiring approximately 4,000kg of flowers to produce 1kg of oil.
Rose Otto oil is successfully used in cosmetic products to inhibit the formation of fine lines and to fight premature skin aging. It improves the skin's health, texture and colour, making it looking smoother, younger, softer and luminous. It calms, balances, uplifts and invigorates the skin. It also nourishes and fortifies the hair leaving it in superb condition.
The Benefits of Rose Otto.

The delicate and fragrant molecules of Rose Otto are able to quickly penetrate and travel the micro pathways of the body, rapidly energising every cell, bringing harmony and beauty to the body.
Along with aphrodisiac, antidepressent[14], antiseptic and astringent properties it is considered a panacea with tonifying, soothing, relaxing[10],[11] and uplifting properties that can create a sense of well-being and promote inner relaxation [8],[9] and balance.
Rose Otto has a multitude of beneficial effects on the skin. It is wonderful in promoting a youthful tones look, elasticity and naturally coloured complexion.
It has excellent stimulating, emollient and hydrating properties, which help the skin to stay soft and properly moisturised as it fights dryness, dehydration and aging leaving skin glowing. It also helps minimise the appearance of fine lines.
It is suitable for all skin types, but it is especially valuable for dehydrated, sensitive, and irritated skins.
It is highly nourishing and regenerative for dry skin types and gentle, calming and soothing, for sensitive and inflamed skin[2].

It is also a healing oil [4] that can promote tissue regeneration and may help with normal scar tissue formation, without any excess scar tissue of fibrous matter.
It has a tonic and astringent effect on the capillaries just before the skin surface, which makes it useful in diminishing the redness caused by enlarged and broken capillaries. This results in a more evenly coloured, healthy looking complexion.
